RIP Uncle Bud! I will never forget you bringing my brother Randy into playing the drums. Feeding the cardinal and squirrels out of your hand, your love for music as we all have and your Yorkie dog “Elvis” ?
I hope you and Randy are in Heaven playing the drums together and Jenna and Roger “Bubba” are watching!
Until we meet again!!
